Question

broken pipe?

RichardDooling opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

On Mac High Sierra and using Prince 12, if I do:

textplay < screenplay.fountain | prince - screenplay.pdf

I get

Textplay/textplay:1125:in write': Broken pipe @ io_write - <STDOUT> (Errno::EPIPE) from Textplay/textplay:1125:in puts'
from Textplay/textplay:1125:in puts' from Textplay/textplay:1125:in

The following works for me...

textplay < test.txt | prince - -o test.pdf

test.txt? I thought it converted fountain files? And do you mean to have the solitary dash in there too? I would think you mean: textplay < test.fountain | print -o test.pdf But that doesn't work for me either.

The solitary dash tells prince to read STDIN (which is what textplay outputs to). Check the docs here. Let me know if that solitary dash makes a difference.

Textplay does not require a ".fountain" extension. It works on any file. I use ".txt".

A couple troubleshooting things to try:

Do you have the latest commit checked out? Latest is 88f7871
Does it work if you do this? textplay -f < test.fountain or textplay -x < test.fountain

Solved. I had the newest Textplay, but had Prince 12 instead of 12.1. With 12, I get "prince: warning: disabled parallel downloads: failed to initialise locking for OpenSSL" But Prince 12.1 fixes it. Thanks for keeping this going. I think it's the best fountain converter out there, and the only one, to my knowledge, that works from the command line. Rick

Glad it worked. I'm glad someone else finds it useful! I'll maintain it as long as I use it. I think you're right, there's nothing quite like it out there. Thanks!
